Chapter 603: The Imperial Court Shows Weakness (1)

Qinglong Guanfu Ya.

In the hall, Zang Bayu reported: "Lord, the enemy has withdrawn, retreated more than 100 miles, entered the city, and stationed in Luyang, Yunjin, Qinguan and other cities. ”

Sun Jian said: "It seems that this Xue Dingshan is still a bit handsome, he can bend and stretch, dare to advance and retreat." ”

Wu Qing said dissatisfied: "If we had pursued while we had won before, even if his 200,000 people wanted to retreat, they would not have been able to retreat.... ”

Everyone looked at Wu Qing, this is clearly talking about Luo Yi.

Luo Yi said: "How do you know that the enemy is not ambushed on the way?" ”

"Besides, our army's backup soldiers have not yet arrived, and it is not yet time to attack, and when it is time to attack, I will not delay."

Sun Jian played the round: "The lord is right, if you want to march, you must have enough preparations, every city needs to be garrisoned, and you have to supply food and grass, if you blindly move forward, I am afraid that it will not be good." ”

"I don't know what happened to Solo, it's very worrying." After a pause, Luo Yi frowned and sighed.

"A few days ago, I received a secret report that he only led 20,000 troops to battle, while Zhuge Can had 200,000 troops, ten times his strength."

At this point, the shadow did a good job, and immediately passed the news to Luo Yi.

"Ah, just 20,000?" Everyone was shocked.

Luo Daodao: "Flying solo is too bold, doesn't he know that Zhuge Can is leading the army?" ”

Sun Jian said: "Yes, not to mention the 200,000 army, Zhuge Can alone is worth 100,000 troops, how can Solo Fei be so careless?" ”

"Don't worry, before the war, I sent someone to send him five Shenwei cannons, if he goes with Shenwei cannons on this trip..." Luo Yi said with a smile.

Luo Tong laughed and said: "You said earlier, if you go out to battle with a Shenwei cannon, even if you can't annihilate Zhuge Can, you will have more than enough self-protection." ”

During the day, seeing the power of the Kamui cannon, no one questioned this.

The power of that thing is not something that ordinary weapons can look down on, and it is estimated that a few shots can bomb and sink the warship.

Thinking of this, everyone was relieved.

"Report...!" At this time, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the hall, and a soldier ran in and said, "My lord, the front-line military report." As he spoke, he handed over a piece of the fold in his hand to Pan Long, who handed it over to Luo Yi.

Luo Yi opened it and said with a smile: "It was sent by Shan Fei, he has led the army to repel Zhuge Can, Zhuge Can was afraid of the might of the divine cannon, and retreated hundreds of miles to camp on the shore to rest. Shan Fei wrote that in two months at most, he would be able to wipe out Zhuge Can on the Yangtze River. ”

Zhu Ru said: "It seems that there is no need to worry about the battle on the Yangtze River." ”

"As soon as the soldiers recruited by the Ministry of War arrive, we can defeat the Tang Army and attack in a big way! Hmph, with our current strength, coupled with the soldiers and horses equipped with the land, we will definitely be able to win a big victory and capture Chang'an! ”

"Huh?"

Luo Yi was surprised: "How do you know that I am going to attack Chang'an?" ”

Zhu Ru said with a smile: "When the lord asked the military department to raise 200,000 soldiers, his subordinates already had a guess, but they were not sure at the time, but yesterday the Tang army was defeated, but the lord did not let General Luo pursue it, which just shows that the lord does not want to startle the snake." ”

"With these two points, my subordinates boldly guessed, and the heart of the lord was afraid that he would have flown to the head of Chang'an City a long time ago."

Luo Yi smiled and nodded: "Okay, Zhu Ru knows my heart!" ”

He really thought so in his heart, if Luo Tong led his troops to pursue and defeat Xue Dingshan, it would definitely cause the Tang Dynasty and the opposition to shake up and down, and there would definitely be defenses along the way. And wait for the army to arrive, and then suddenly attack Xue Ding Mountain, defeat it first, and then kill Chang'an as quickly as possible.

In this way, the enemy will have to be destroyed before he has time to set up his defenses.

This is exactly the reason why Luo Yi didn't let Luo Tong pursue, there was the Wolf Tooth Army, and Luo Yi didn't pay attention to the 200,000 people at all. As Zhu Ru said, his eyes have long been staring at the head of Chang'an City.

Hearing Luo Yi say that he was going to attack Chang'an, Luo Tong, Wu Qing, Lin Feng, Dong Fan, etc., were all excited, and that was something they had been looking forward to for many years.

"Great, I must use a clay pot to blow open the iron gate of Chang'an!" Wu Qing said with a smile.

Several regiment commanders discussed: "It must be that we attack Chang'an first." ”

"Sure, how strong our fighting power is."

"Hehe, when we arrive in Chang'an, we are stationed there, and the world will see who can attack it."

..........

If it was before, these people dared to say this, Luo Tong would definitely be angry, but after seeing their strength, he didn't argue with them, in terms of attacking the city and pulling out the village, his iron cavalry was indeed inferior to the firearms of the wolf's tooth army.

"Okay, let's go down and rest, get ready for a big battle, don't say it well now, when you go out, you will swallow them one by one."

"No."

Everyone laughed and slowly exited the lobby.

*************

Chang'an, in the imperial study, after receiving the news from Xue Dingshan, Li Shimin sighed: "I guessed that I was right, Xiliang does have a very powerful firearm. ”

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Standing next to him were Li Zhenzong and the eldest grandson Wuji, and the two asked in unison.

Li Shimin sighed: "Xue Dingshan sent someone to hand over the fold, and he just suffered a defeat. ”

"The five thousand siege soldiers were wiped out by the defenders of Qinglong Pass before they even touched the city wall, and all fifteen trebuchets were blown up. Flying bridges, siege towers, and even ladders didn't come back. Five thousand went out, and several hundred fled. ”

Li Zhenzong exclaimed: "I really didn't expect Luo Yi to be so powerful now. ”

At this moment, Li Shimin's intestines are repentant, if he hadn't offended Luo Yi at the beginning, and wronged Luo Yi for so much money, he would not have made trouble to this point today, with Luo Yi and Luo Tong, the Tang Dynasty is stable, who would dare to invade.

But it's too late to say this, and the disaster has already happened...

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Your Majesty, this attack on Xiliang was completely provoked by Zhuge Can, he wanted us to fight with Luo Yi, and then reap the benefits of the fisherman." Weichen meant that since Luo Yi was so powerful, it was better to make peace with him again. ”

Li Zhenzong interjected: "However, Luo Yi is so powerful, if he is not eliminated early, he will become a disaster one day." ”

"Lord Li, why don't you understand, this is Zhuge Can's trajectory, he will not work hard to fight with the Xiliang soldiers. It will only urge us to march. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Therefore, instead of a stalemate like Luo Yi, it is better to negotiate peace earlier, so as not to expand the situation." ”

In fact, the reason why he agreed to join forces with Zhuge Can to join forces with Xiliang Luo Yi was to test Luo Yi's strength in addition to stabilizing the rear, and if the strength was too strong, he wanted to provoke a war between Xiliang and Huainan and Henan.

In short, Li Shimin and Zhuge Can both had the intention of letting each other come out and reap the benefits by themselves.

Both of them are like mirrors in their hearts...

Li Shimin said: "But if I don't take advantage of this time to eliminate Luo Yi, how can I calm the world?" ”

Li Zhenzong said: "Yes." The emperor is wise. ”
